Hey Erik,

thanks and I hope you get things sorted out with Tina (whom I don't 
know, but I have seen your previous postings on the topic ...)

And I don't mind to adhere to whatever posting policy is in place. 
OSCOM was the only list I have posted the training to, because I think 
it is good news on more than one front that this is available.

I had a private conversation with Paul (more or less) and he said:

That is a humble goal, and should be stated in the description of 
general@
